NIOSH is soliciting input from its Stakeholders on their needs for information and guidance to be included in a revision of the "Occupational Exposure Sampling Strategies Manual" (OESSM) [>http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/77-173.html]. This meeting is an excellent opportunity for you to provide input on the update and help shape the future of occupational exposure assessment.
The OESSM has been a seminal document on exposure assessment and served as the basis for NIOSH recommendations and guidance to OSHA and the professional community for many years. However, the underlying science supporting occupational exposure assessment as well as the needs for, and uses of, occupational exposure assessment have advanced and evolved since the Manual was published. In response to these advancements, NIOSH has decided to move forward with developing updated guidance and recommendations that reflect these changes and help move occupational exposure assessment into the future. The input of stakeholders such as practicing industrial hygienists, educators and researchers, students, safety practitioners, and regulators is critical to assuring the guidance and recommendations developed meet the needs of today's and future practitioners.
There is no cost to attend the meeting, but registration is required to ensure that we can adequately accommodate all those interested. A reduced cost for Hotel accommodations has been arranged at the Washington Court for the evenings of November 7 and 8.
